1. 128K stripe (most people use it)
2. Don't keep anything important (with RAID0 you are doubling chance of loosing data)
 
I agree with the 128K stripe as most benchmark show it is the best way to go. Keep whatever you want on the array and use BACKUP like everyone should be doing anyway. I have been running RAID 0 since Windows 98 and have never lost any data because of it. 1 drive could fail just as well as a RAID 0 array. You are playing the odds with anything less than RAID 1. Once you create the array and install everything there really isn't anything else to do so there really aren't any more do or don't situations. Just sit back and enjoy the speed increase.
